A composition of n is a finite sequence of positive integers with sum n.
For the operation of taking the sequence of run-lengths of a finite sequence, runs-resistance is defined as the number of applications required to reach a singleton.
Except for the k = 0 column and the n = 0 and n = 1 rows, this is the triangle appearing on page 3 of Lenormand, which is A319411. Unlike A318928, we do not here require that a(n) >= 1.
The n = 0 row is chosen to ensure that the row-sums are A000079, although the empty word arguably has indeterminate runs-resistance.

EXAMPLE
Triangle begins:
1
2 0
0 2 2
0 2 2 4
0 2 4 6 4
0 2 2 12 12 4
0 2 6 30 18 8 0
0 2 2 44 44 32 4 0
0 2 6 82 76 74 16 0 0
0 2 4 144 138 172 52 0 0 0
0 2 6 258 248 350 156 4 0 0 0
0 2 2 426 452 734 404 28 0 0 0 0
For example, row n = 4 counts the following words:
0000 0011 0001 0010
1111 0101 0110 0100
1010 0111 1011
1100 1000 1101
1001
1110
